Janet CombsNew College of Florida held the 45th Annual Clambake — rebranded as Soirée on the Bay, Clambake — at its campus under beautiful skies with high humidity and a slight breeze coming off of Sarasota Bay Nov. 7.
Alice Rothbauer, director of donor relations for the New College Foundation, said, "In the wake of several hurricanes, we are thrilled to be able to celebrate our 45th year of the clambake, and hope that this continues for the next 100 years to come. We are so thankful for staff who worked overtime, and the original builder of the seawall who made extensive repairs to our heavily damaged seawall."
This fundraising effort has garnered large donations in the past, and with 240 guests in attendance, and the influences of Elizabeth Moore and Don Patterson, New College hopes to surpass last year's efforts of $400,000. The co-chairs stressed how participating in the fundraising will have a lasting impact of the lives of many students.
"Other than graduation, this event is the most important of the year," said Kate Delmore, facilities coordinator.
In addition to a seafood dinner, entertainment included dancers, musicians and a painter, and an after-dinner cigar bar and fireworks capped off the evening.
